Bruce, All your spiral routed pieces are beautiful. Good shapes and good proportions. Thanks for your explanation about your "router sled". I'm poor mechanically, but I'll try and get a mental picture so I can give the technique a try. Dale Clemens
The Router sled that I use is pretty simple. Just a couple of boards joined together in a "L" shape with the trim router mounted at the appropriate height using two U shaped double ended bolts (U clamps) available at any hardware store. I have seen more elaborate ones with a base with two ends with roundouts cut out to cradel the router. I believe there is a picture of one these in the album of Jeff Jilg on this site.
Spirals, on the other hand require a more complicated setup of pulleys to drive the router.
